All About Me
Why I Do What I Do?
My passion is assisting the residents of our rural communities with mobile pet services. My vision is to provide these communities with another option. By providing my pet services to the people who primarily live in the outer rural communities, they are able to take a much needed break away, even if it is only for a day or so. Due to distances and work/farmlife commitments, travelling a 100 km - 120 km round trip to the nearest town for a dog training session is not always feasible or economical.
I am dependable, flexible, knowledgable and a country girl at heart and I totally have your back.

Dog Training
Responsible, Reliable, Flexible and Mobile
My Dog Training service is a personal, one on one service. I will take you and your dog on an exciting journey, a journey that will strengthen the bond and understanding between you and your best mate. I will show you through hands on learning, how to communicate more effectively with your dog, how to read and understand your dog, how to engage and interact with your dog and achieve focus from your dog. You will further learn the importance of play, how to set boundaries, reshape behaviours and obedience training, all while using reward based training techniques.
Please get in touch if I seem like the right Pet Sitter/or Dog Trainer for you and your pet. I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

"Nicky has been a total life saver for me since I got my wolfhound puppy. I work long and irregular hours and Nicky has been absolutely wonderful in accommodating my specific needs. My pets and home always feel safe in her hands, and my puppy just loves her Aunty Nicky!"

Nicky was so helpful with our red heeler! If you told me at the start of the program that Mack (our ball obsessed dog) would walk calmly on a lead past tennis balls being thrown all around him I'd laugh! BUT! he did! Thanks to Nicky's knowledge and understanding of dogs. Not only did Nicky teach me to trust my dog she taught us the skills to work as a team from the ground up.

Testimony : Myroslav (Max the American Staffy)
We were frustrated with our boy of two years as we couldn't get him to walk without pulling. With the help from Nicky Hale she helped us understand the reasons to why Max wasn't interested in listening to us when told not to pull. She worked with us in our backyard to help us gain Max's attention and trust. By the end of his initial training package (6 weeks) he was training in the park, with distractions and listening and obeying much better. We did the hard work between Nicky's training sessions, to keep training him and we have reaped the benefits. We will be training with Nicky again to improve Max's listening and obeying skills with more distractions in the new year. Excellent trainer who really makes you understand your dog and be less frustrated in them. A greater bond with our Max has been established now.
